Sponsored Post Rules (disclosure, how many, etc…)

February 2, 2015 By Becky Mansfield Leave a Comment

There are a lot of "rules" that go along with sponsored posts… Lets start with the Disclosure: 1- What is a disclosure and why do you need them? The purpose of a disclosure is to help readers determine if the blogger is endorsing a brand or not.    Don't worry… You can get creative- it doesn't have to be the same boring disclosure. a- Your disclosure has to be stated BEFORE any links - linking to the brand. b- Your links need to be ...
